Button Block , assigning URL parameter
8 replies · Started by Ernst Wilhelm on February 23, 2022
If I understand well I can use the blocks for visualising links.
I want to assign a url parameter to a page link, eg a post id. Can I make this?
Cheers
Solved. Was a self caused isse with a block manager plugin :)

Hi there,
you should be able to manually edit the URL in the link field. It should accept manual entry of any params you need to add to the URL.
I understand.the question i am struggeling with is how to access dynamic attributes like the post id. Any idea?
What exactly should the button do when you click on it?
Today I have buttons in place controlled by a mix of php and html coding.
`<li>One example is to call a page which shows all images and allows a controlled download, URL is something like
https://r-mediabase.eu/controlled-download/?post=<strong>62246</strong></li>
<li>Another example is to call an admin page provided by a media library plugin for authorized users
https://r-mediabase.eu/wp-admin/upload.php?page=mla-menu&orderby=menu_order&order=desc&parent=<strong>62246</strong></li>`
So does this URL have to be pragmatically generated ?
If so then you will need to create a Shortcode that outputs the button HTML with the URL.
That's what's already in place right now. I wanted to change it because i likte the modular approach of generatepress/generateblocks very much. Okay. In that case please consider this ticket as resolved. Your input is very much appreciated.
Glad to be of help
